More than half a century has elapsed, since a young stone-cutter cele brated New Year's day by going skating. The lake was in a lonely spot , among the mountains, and when he had grown a little tired ; of the sport he sat down to rest and eat his lunch. A rocky cl'ff, towered beyond, and It occurred to him that the smooth face of it was just the place for an inscrip tion. No sooner thought than don". His chisel was in his pocket: he climbed tho rocks and before th? sun went down had cut in stone the prophecy, "The New Year witl bo good.' The letters were not especially well formed, hut large and plain enough for long-distance reading, nnd the stone-cutters' ap prentice, little more than a hoy, wended his homeward way tired and -happy and pleased with his work. t If he told of it, no one remem bered; and when, as years went by, the lake with the cliffs about IT 1 v eiping' Homemaker To Put. a Tnoli of Color I Into the fruit naiad or cocktnll try! preserving cubes of pineapple ."

Wilcox I 4 the New Year . it, became a summer resort, tho , question of how and by whom n ) wonderful prophecy ' was written, asked by thousands of people, re mained unanswered until there came to the lakeside hotel a man who did not need to ask It.

J.. , 4 r Beauty Resolutions for Nineteen-Thirty I T HAS never been my lot in life ' to have my teacher give me list of new resolutions to abide i by without thinking that maybe teacher needs make some for her own good. So l am going to start out to tell my readers that among my resolutions on behalf of my I'risdlla friends 1 am going to In clude in my talks this coming year a number of personal Inter views with some of our famous ;iuiy specialist. They may seem to dil'IVr at limes in their theories but often we find several roads to one place, indeed tho ancients avowed that all roads lead to Home. So, there are several theo ries ami practices discovered by beauty specialists that ultimately arrive at their goal Heauiy. 'My chief warning is . . . if you begin with one theory please carry It out to its conclusion for though I may send you to China by way of San 1'YancIscn or in tho opposite til-; reel Imi through New York and across the Mediterranean and around the Kastern Seas, yet In both cases you will get to China unless you decide to turn north befoiv yni reach your destination. N,ov here we are facing a brand new year whh all its hopeful pos sibilities, and in every woman's heart is the desire for an added quota of beauty to gladden the eyes of those she loves as well ns the satisfaction of knowing that she had glorified the gifts given to her by an all-wise law of na ture. One cannot gain more henuty however by a quick and easy road . . . we have many natural enemies to personal beauty; even our own dispositions rise up and menace a smooth skin, n sweet face, and clear eyes. Anger will disturb your stomach, prevent ! feet digestion, apd bring about headaches nnd other Ills. There fore, one ' really important step toward beauty is to "keep calm." Another nnd this is an often overlooked fact Is the wearing of comfortable clothes, nnd adequnto ones for the season and occasion. Do you know that uncomfortable Ill-fitting shoes enuso as many wrinkles as "a woman may 'have? Or, shivering In clothes that nro not sufficiently warm for the weather Impedes the natural func tioning of some of our most Im portant secretions? You cannot have u clear skin nnd silky hair If the circulation of the blood Is impeded, or the oil duets nro dried up, or the sweat glands do not function. Theso are all ns es sential to your outward beauty as tho sap is necessary to the tree. And then! oh, tho Indiscretions of eating! No, 1 don't believe In starvation rations hy any means, but I do believe that every person edd enough to select the fond they eat should give some thought to what they are putting Into their bodies. Again, do you Itnow your body Is ono of the most perfect of ma chines? Divinely endowed, It is true, yet working much the same as machines that create tho ne cessities of our rtnlly lives. And would you permit an expensive, valuable piece of machinery to disintegrate through neglect? You must keep It clean, yoimust use It, nlve It activity , . . for only by these steps can you preserve Its usefulness. This, then, Is true of your body . . .'the dally bath, the dally cleansing, tho dally ac tivity are . of the greatest Impor tance. Rvery woman has her own per sonal problem uboitt this question of dally exercise, yet each woman can so arrange her home or busi ness activities ns to combine phys ical exercise with her essential duties. The simple act of going up and down stairs ran he done In n manner that contributes to poise and stimulation of blood circulation. You can make the common place action of going out Into the street, getting on a surface car, or picking up n parcel, contribute to the well being of your body. In stead of the reverse. Tho great thing Is to make these self-duties become automatic, it would be a sinful waste of time to say, "now I must do this nt elght-thlriy for my hair, nnd at eight forly-flve Homethlng else for my eyes," et cetera, etcetera, but when you train yourself to control your nhvuini niiinnB n mniiv n vnu breathe, then Indeed you are u-nrlflnr fnr renl benillv. Yo'l will he surprised ot the automatic gesture with which you reach for wnr l..(.nnlnf rm.m Inr If vni,'l! only keep It where It Is conveni ently placed. Make your duty to your beauty ns easy and , con venient ns possible, nnd yiu will see n gradual new loveliness com ing Into your fnce. Modern Prls cltta.
